卖家的描述
Kaeka/Keaka Figure - Cross River Region, Nigeria/Cameroon
The wooden male figure possesses a compact, almost tectonic appearance. A stocky body with a protruding abdomen and closely drawn arms rises from sturdy legs. The large, egg-shaped head sits almost directly on the shoulders. Deeply hollowed eyes, an elongated nose, and the open, rectangular mouth lend the face a mask-like intensity. The heavily weathered, earthy-crusted surface obscures anatomical details, making the sculpture appear as if it has been ritually treated over a long period.
The attribution to the Keaka, a group associated with the Ejagham in the Cross River region on the border between Nigeria and Cameroon, must be treated with caution from an art historical perspective. The Metropolitan Museum explicitly points out earlier confusions between the Keaka of the Nigerian Cross River region and the Kaka groups of Cameroon. Keaka sculptures are relatively rare and only partially documented; formally, they are often classified between the pictorial traditions of the Chamba and Mumuye. Historical examples show similarly compact bodies, highly abstracted faces, and pronounced signs of use. Divinatory, therapeutic, and protective functions are assumed for individual figures.

Pierre Harter: Arts anciens du Cameroun. Arnouville 1986.
David Zeitlyn: Beiträge zu Mambila/Kaka-Skulptur, in: Nigeria. Arts de la vallée de la Bénoué. Paris 1997.
